Down Syndrome Awareness Day
Cake sale
March 21st 2024
AOB held a cake sale arranged by Natalie, a Bric by Bric colleague of Saffer Cooper…….
All donations were for Down Syndrome Awareness Day. This is officially celebrated on 21st March each year, the date is significant as people with Down Syndrome have 3 copies of chromosome 21- hence 21/3. The day is marked with people wearing odd socks to celebrate individuals who have Down Syndrome and inclusivity (socks were chosen as chromosomes are shaped similarly to socks)
